Honokowai Farmers Market vegan banana bread

Question

Now that the Honokowai Farmers Market is closed, does anyone know where I can get vegan banana bread? I remember them selling it somewhere else on island but I don’t remember the details or if they still do.

My daughter is allergic to eggs so the vegan one is perfect and theirs was so yummy!

Answer

The Honokōwai Farmers Market was one of the most reliable spots on Maui for vegan banana bread, so it’s completely understandable you’re trying to track down where those products went. Thankfully, there are still several places on the island where you can find vegan banana bread — including some that are very close to the old market location and others that offer excellent egg-free options.

Below is a detailed list of places that currently offer vegan banana bread or are known for carrying vegan baked goods, plus a few backup options in case availability fluctuates.

Closest Matches to the Old Honokōwai Farmers Market Vegan Banana Bread

Some of the vendors and local bakeries who used to supply the Honokōwai Farmers Market still sell their items through stores or pop-ups.

Farmers Market Maui (the grocery store next door to the old market) — They still carry a range of vegan breads and baked items, often from the same producers who previously supplied the outdoor market. Vegan banana bread availability varies but is frequently stocked.
Napili Farmers Market (Wednesdays & Saturdays) — Several vendors offer vegan baked goods, and at times vegan banana bread appears. It’s the best North West Maui alternative since Honokōwai closed.

Other Maui Places Known to Sell Vegan Banana Bread or Vegan-Friendly Baked Goods

These shops frequently offer vegan banana bread or other vegan bakery options. Availability can rotate, but they’re all trusted places with good vegan selections.

Choice Health Bar (Lahaina & Kaanapali locations) — Often carries vegan banana bread, muffins, and other egg-free baked treats. Their items are fully plant-based.
Down to Earth Organic & Natural (Kahului) — Their bakery section regularly sells vegan breads and pastries. Vegan banana bread is offered seasonally or as part of rotating items.
Mana Foods (Paia) — A strong contender for vegan baked goods on Maui. They have excellent vegan banana bread fairly often, plus many egg-free pastries.
Alive & Well (Kahului) — Carries multiple vegan bakery items, sometimes including banana bread.

Small Bakeries & Local Makers Offering Vegan Banana Bread

Some local bakers specialize in allergen-friendly products and often sell through markets, stores, or online ordering.

Maui Bread Co. (Kihei) — Not all bread is vegan, but they do offer vegan versions of several items. Call ahead to verify if vegan banana bread is available that day.
Private/Local cottage-food bakers — Maui has several vegan cottage bakers who attend pop-up markets or accept preorder. Napili, Kihei Fourth Friday, and Queen Kaʻahumanu Center markets often feature them.

Tips for Ensuring Egg-Free Safety

Since your daughter has an egg allergy, Maui’s vegan bakeries are a good fit, but it’s always smart to double-check ingredients and confirm no cross-contamination if it’s severe.

Call ahead (especially at Mana Foods, Down to Earth, and Maui Bread Co.) to confirm availability.
Ask if the item is 100% vegan, not just “egg-free,” as vegan guarantees no dairy or egg products.
When buying at markets, ask vendors directly — most are very open about ingredients.

Bottom Line

You still have several good options for vegan banana bread on Maui, especially in West Maui despite the Honokōwai Farmers Market closure. Your best bet is to start with the Farmers Market Maui store and the Napili Farmers Market, then try Choice Health Bar or Mana Foods if you venture farther out. You should absolutely still be able to find delicious egg-free banana bread for your daughter.
